PatchSiren cyber security CVE debrief
CVE-2026-109170 LogicalDOC CVE debrief
LogicalDOC Community Edition through 9.3 contains an HQL injection vulnerability in DocumentsDataServlet that allows authenticated users to manipulate queries via the unvalidated indexed parameter. This vulnerability enables attackers with read access to any folder to inject boolean HQL expressions, potentially bypassing folder scope and read-permission checks, and leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and possible extraction of database contents. System administrators and security teams should assess exposure and apply the patch to prevent potential unauthorized access.

- Bypassing of folder scope and read-permission checks
- Possible extraction of database contents
Technical summary
The vulnerability is caused by an HQL injection in the DocumentsDataServlet of LogicalDOC Community Edition through 9.3. This allows authenticated users to manipulate queries via the unvalidated indexed parameter. The vulnerability enables attackers to inject boolean HQL expressions, potentially bypassing folder scope and read-permission checks, and leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and possible extraction of database contents. The patch commit is available in the source references to address the vulnerability.
Defensive priority
Authenticated users with read access to any folder may be able to inject boolean HQL expressions to bypass folder scope and read-permission checks.
Recommended defensive actions
- Review and apply the patch commit to ensure the vulnerability is addressed
- Restrict access to the DocumentsDataServlet to only trusted users
- Monitor for suspicious activity on the affected system
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
